Looking Trauma in the Eye

In my life I have had little to no experience with trauma. I have never been in an accident, and the only trauma I have seen was witnessed via the television or from a story I heard second hand; that is till recently. Over this past weekend I lived trauma, at least on a more personal note. My younger sister experienced a skiing accident, and ruptured her kidney and appendix and caused the need for an emergency surgery, along with emergency surgery she need dialases to clean out her blood stream along with a blood transfusion to make sure that no toxins will enter her more vital organs. When I learned of her accident I was in immediate distress and Aw. I originally thought that nothing this dramatic could ever happen in my life. Despite my story and many stories similar to mine people rely on others for trauma control. People like surgeons and the American Red Cross often give hope to those that have none. Often the people like the American Red Cross are the first on the scene, without an organization like this I know my sister would have died in surgery without the blood. So I will take a moment and thank them and all the people who donated. This though very unformal is trauma at least to my knowledge.
